District 113 seeks $3M for 'priority' repairs to high schools

December 10, 2011

Because voters rejected a referendum measure that asked taxpayers to pay for extensive renovations to Highland Park and Deerfield high schools, District 113 officials will ask the board of education to find ways to pay for $3 million worth of roof, stairwell and other repairs they say can no longer be delayed.

After consulting with study groups and looking over the district's 10-year capital plan, administrators have begun identifying the most urgent maintenance and repair projects.
